ABSTRACT:
A method and system for pattern-driven routing are disclosed. Embodiments of pattern-driven routing are disclosed for creating a representation for at least a portion of an initial routing solution, comparing the representation for at least the portion of the initial routing solution with a pattern, and determining whether the initial routing solution has lithographic issues based on the comparison.
